FLUID: A splashy solo spectacle packed with original tough lesbian raps, groping confessions, and advanced bixsexual linguistics. Erika Kate and her characters dexterously navigate the terms and conditions of expressing one's sexual identity, and playfully probe the slippery realms between definitions. Hailed at the 2007 Boulder and Minnesota Fringe Festivals as "a searing indictment of standard gender definitions," and "raw and exposed ... and hilarious all at once," FLUID is a thoughtful resistance against the subtle insistence that we choose one label or another and stick to it.
